You're leaving it up to Apple if he's convicted too. Either way it's up to Apple. They aren't legally required to get rid of an app of a convicted rapist and human trafficker. So what's the difference?

They aren't legally required to get rid of an app of a convicted rapist and human trafficker.

I'm arguing that they should be legally required to take it down in that case if ordered by a judge, and also, that they should be legally required to let users install whatever app they want on their device, either side loading, 3rd party stores, or whatever.

Currently these aren't true, but one can dream

if ordered by a judge

So as long as the judge doesn't say he can't make money from his app, Apple should keep up the app making money for the convicted rapist and human trafficker. Got it.

Judges aren't perfect, and our justice system isn't perfecr, but it's the best we got... people do get away with murder sometimes, but that's a whole different story that I don't think belongs here

Got it.

We're adults (I hope), let's behave like such and not put words in each other's mouth. I didn't say any of those words and you know it.

You very definitely did say that. I quoted you. You very clearly said that Apple should only take down a convicted rapist and human trafficker's app if a judge orders it.

reading comprehension...

Again, I quoted you. I have no idea why you're trying to gaslight now.

Here are my words above:

If he’s convicted, or if I judge orders it before he’s convicted, then the app goes down

Once convicted the app should go down period. If deemed very dangerous, a judge could order it down even before while awaiting the verdict. Hopefully that clarifies it.
